For life assurance and general insurance businesses, adjusted operating profit is based on a long term investment return and includes investment returns on own shares held within the policyholders' funds. For banking business, adjusted operating profit excludes the loss on disposal / write-down of investment in Dimension Data Holdings plc, restructuring and integration costs and the transitional impact of the change of credit provisioning methodology. For all businesses, adjusted operating profit excludes goodwill amortisation and impairment and fines and penalties. Adjusted operating earnings per share are similarly based, but are stated after tax and minority interests, with the calculation of the weighted average number of shares including own shares held in policyholders' funds. The segmental analysis within the achieved profits consolidated profit and loss account has been prepared after eliminating inter-segment results. ** Refer to segmental analysis of results in section 7. *** Comparative figures for the six months ended 30 June 2003 have been restated to reflect the adoption of Urgent Issues Taskforce Abstract 37 'Purchases and Sales of Own Shares' and 38 'Accounting for ESOP Trusts' (UITF38).

These supplementary financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the methodology for supplementary reporting for long term insurance business (the achieved profits method) issued in December 2001 by the Association of British Insurers. Changes in accounting policies Comparative figures have been restated to reflect the adoption of UITF Abstract 38 'Accounting for ESOP Trusts'. This Abstract requires that Group's holdings in own shares held by Employee Share Ownership Trusts (ESOP Trusts) be accounted for as a deduction from shareholders' funds (profit and loss account) rather than recorded as an asset. In addition, purchases and sales of such own shares should be shown as changes in shareholders' funds such that no profit or loss is recognised. In the majority of cases, the ESOP Trusts have waived their rights to dividends such that there is no impact on operating profit after tax. The reductions in achieved profits equity shareholders' funds at 30 June 2004, 31 December 2003 and 30 June 2003 were £113 million (R1,270 million), £109 million (R1,301 million) and £110 million (R1,356 million) respectively, representing the original cost of these shares. In the second half of 2003 the Group adopted UITF Abstract 37 'Purchases and Sales of Own Shares'. As a result, shares of the Company held by the Group's long term policyholders' funds were accounted for as deduction from equity rather than as an asset and the investment return earned and dividends paid on these shares were no longer shown in the profit and loss account. The 30 June 2003 comparative figures have been restated to reflect the adoption of this Abstract. For the six months ended 30 June 2003, operating profit after tax increased by £14 million (R181 million) and dividends paid have been restated to exclude dividends in respect of own shares, resulting in an overall increase in retained profit of £18 million (R232 million). Basic earnings per share have been restated to reflect a reduction in the weighted average number of shares in issue of 316 million. At 30 June 2003, the reduction in achieved profits equity shareholders' funds was £267 million (R3,303 million). In determining the adjusted embedded value, a pro forma adjustment has been made to include the market value of own shares held in policyholders' funds.

For South Africa the expected return is applied to the average unencumbered capital given in section 6. The segmental results of the United States include the operating profit generated by Old Mutual Reassurance in Ireland, which provides reinsurance to the United States life companies, and OMNIA Life (Bermuda) Ltd. The effect of changes in and cost of solvency capital for South Africa reflects changes in the amount of solvency capital required and in the mix of assets backing the solvency capital. The effect of FSV economic assumption changes reflects the impact of reducing the economic assumptions for the South African actuarial liability valuation by 3% p.a. The effect of BoE Life reflects the recognition of the initial value of the in- force business on acquisition.

The value of new individual unit trust and some group market-linked business written by the life companies is excluded, as the profits on this business arise in the asset management subsidiaries. The value of new business also excludes premium increases arising from indexation arrangements in respect of existing business, as these are already included in the value of in-force business.

Where applicable, rates of future bonuses have been set at levels consistent with the investment return assumptions. Projected company taxation is based on the current tax basis that applies in each country. * For the South African business, full allowance has been made for STC that may be payable in South Africa. Account has been taken of the impact of CGT in South Africa. It has been assumed that 10% of the equity portfolio (excluding group subsidiaries) will be traded each year. For the United States business full allowance has been made for existing tax attributes of the companies, including the use of existing carry forwards and preferred tax credit investments. Achieved profits results are initially calculated on an after tax basis and are then grossed up to the pre-tax level for presentation in the profit and loss account and the segmental analysis of results. The tax rates used were the effective corporation tax rates of 37.8% for South African business (December 2003: 37.8%; June 2003: 37.8%), 30% for United States business (December 2003: 25%; June 2003: 30%) and 0% for United Kingdom and Rest of World business (December 2003: 0%; June 2003: 0%) except for the investment return on South African capital, for which the attributed tax was derived from the primary accounts. * The assumed future mortality, morbidity and voluntary discontinuance rates have been based as far as possible on analyses of recent operating experience. Allowance has been made where appropriate for the effect of expected AIDS-related claims. * The management expenses attributable to life assurance business have been analysed between expenses relating to the acquisition of new business and the maintenance of business in-force. The future expenses attributable to life assurance business do not include Group holding company expenses. * No allowance has been made for future development costs. * Future investment expenses are based on the current scales of fees payable by the life assurance companies to the asset management subsidiaries. To the extent that these fees include profit margins for the asset management subsidiaries, these margins have not been included in the value of in-force business or the value of new business. * The effect of increases in premiums over the period for policies in-force has been included in the value of in-force business only where such increases are associated with indexation arrangements. Other increases in premiums of existing policies are included in the value of new business. Achieved Profits Basis Supplementary Information continued for the six months ended 30 June 2004 9 ASSUMPTIONS continued * New schemes written on which recurring single premiums are expected to be received on a regular basis are treated as new business. The annualised premium is recognised as recurring premium new business at inception of the scheme and is determined by annualising the actual premiums received during the year in question. Subsequent recurring single premiums received in future years are not treated as new business, as these have already been provided for in calculating the value of in-force business. * The sensitivity of the value of in-force and value of new business to changes in the central risk discount rate are set out in section 10.

In determining the values at different central discount rates, all other assumptions have been left unchanged. The value of new business is shown before tax.
